T he first time I heard about galaxies without dark matter, I was sitting in my very first graduate class at the University of São Paulo. It was 2018, and the discovery had just ...

A recent study by Rajendra Gupta, published in "Galaxies," proposes that cosmic phenomena conventionally ascribed to dark matter and dark energy can be explained by the temporal weakening of ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, yet is estimated to account for most of the universe's mass. Over the past decades, many physicists worldwide have ...

In recent years, a curious hypothetical particle called the axion, invented to address challenging problems with the strong nuclear force, has emerged as a leading candidate to explain dark matter.

We see evidence for merging supermassive black holes everywhere we look. One problem: We’re not exactly sure how they manage to do it. Recently, a team of astronomers has proposed that a particular ...
